Chai Creme Brulee image

Easily my favorite dessert, Creme Brulee beats cheesecake hands down! Rich, creamy and decadent, this version has a bit of a twist: the spice of a cup of chai tea. Best if you have a day ahead to prepare this: the cooking time includes this extra time to set.

Time P1DT30m

Yield 4 1/2 cup servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 teaspoons sugar
2 chai tea teabags (or loose tea, in an infuser)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300F degrees.
  • Place 4 ramekins in a roasting pan and pour hot water in the pan to halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  • Combine the sugar, vanilla and egg yolks, mixing well. Set aside.
  • Place the cream and the tea in a large saucepan and heat slowly just to the boiling point.
  • Pour the cream into the eggs and sugar mixture in a slow and steady stream, whisking constantly.
  • Pour 1/2 cup of the mixture into each ramekin.
  • Ideally, allow to sit overnight before baking.
  • Bake until the custard is set, about 35 minutes.
  • Allow to cool and refrigerate at least two hours. The longer the better.
  • About an hour before serving, sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar onto each custard, thinly and evenly.
  • Melt the sugar with a flame until golden brown, either with a kitchen torch or under the broiler, about an inch from the flame for 30 seconds.
  • Cool to room temperature before serving.
